Finals Week 1

[Corona Man]

So what's everyone's thoughts tonight? I'm quietly confident the cats can get up but by jingo are the Melbourne media all over the Tigers. SEN must be major sponsors I reckon.

victorian media has been jacking off over this game for a fortnight. i guess its because all other games involve non victorian teams

I seriously can not get a handle on tonight's game. No idea either way.

cats have a lot more experience in finals, and i reckon it will come in handy if its close

plus i wanna see richmond out in straight sets for the laughs

Yes the hype is almost as big as a Showdown.

Just be a decent game ffs

Not just the Victorian media, most footy fans. It'll be a massive atmosphere and will feel like a finals game which last night never did for some reason.
Nothing like 90k plus at the G on a Friday night.

I just dont want to see images of all the old Tiger fans bawling again

That would be funny to see again

Rain and small hail due across Melbourne around 4pm. Should clear by game time, just a matter of how much comes down and exactly when. No wind about so you'd expect conditions would be pretty good come game time.

dont get me wrong, im looking forward to it too. I reckon its the one final where it could genuinely go either way.

**** Richmond. Hopefully they go out in straight sets.

Can confirm Tigers fans are thick on the ground over here.... every second man has jumped on the train.

Why do they do it to themselves?

They've been in the wilderness (where a Tiger belongs) for so long, they have just come out of the woodwork. Out shopping last night and it really was a cavalcade of Tigers.... on parade. Other than that, yeah, why would ya?

I envy you guys, you can just watch the game stress free for entertainment knowing the atmospherw will be awesome and that Geelong usually put on a good show.
I still remember this day last year, I felt I wanted to give up on football and broke down in tears after we beat Hawthorn, it was too hard, I was extremely drunk though.
I'll be hoping for a game that isnt close tonight either way unlike you guys!

I said that to a work colleague this morning...nice to watch 3 x finals games over the weekend without worrying about the result!

I would rather see the Cats out in straight sets.

Tigers have anyone to go with Dangerfield?

No one in the comp can go with Danger, think they're better off sitting someone on Cotchin.

Genuine 50/50 game, tipping the Cats because of their experience but a Tiges win wouldn't surprise at all.

Turn it up you blokes would be sacrificing goats for an Essendon victory.

[Spargo]

No hesitation picking Richmond. I reckon they're as good a things as Adelaide last night & Sydney tomorrow.

Me, last year too...

As much as I love finals, it's bloody stressful. And now that I am going tomorrow arvo the stress levels will be higher.. Super excited though

Would be nice if Essendon won but won't lose sleep over it!

Cats win by around 77pts. The tiger train will derail.

The game would be called off from too many ground invasions before it got to 77 pts!
